Zakat in Ramadan is one of the most sublime acts of worship that solidarizes society and soothes the pain of the indigent. It gives the opportunity to live with dignity to poor families. Ramadan is a month of mercy, forgiveness, not only for fasting, but also for drawing closer to Allah through good deeds.
Your Zakat at AFRIKA Hayat ASSOCIATION is directly transformed into humanitarian projects for poor families in Africa, including the distribution of food baskets, Iftar for the fasters, sponsorships of orphans, wells, and taking aid to most vulnerable families.
What is Ramadan Zakat? Why is the giving of Ramadan Zakat a crucial aspect of this holy month?
Zakat is one of the pillars of Islam, an obligation upon capable Muslims to help the poor and needy. It plays a crucial role in ensuring social justice and reducing poverty.
Zakat al-Mal: A mandatory charity on wealth, given to those in need.
Zakat al-Fitr: A small charity given before Eid prayer to bring joy to the poor and ensure their needs are met.
The Prophet ﷺ said: “Satisfy their needs on this day so they do not have to ask.” Paying Zakat in time allows the needy to celebrate Eid with dignity.
